This collection of articles offers an in-depth exploration of explanatory, non-normative political theory, moving beyond the simple mechanics of governance and power struggles. The chapters investigate the boundaries and forms of political phenomena, including the transformation of non-political matters into political issues. The analysis distinguishes between political actions driven by ideas and interests, efforts to harmonize conflicting forces for social stability, and the principles that underpin the political framework. Moreover, the book delves into the socio-technical mechanisms of enemy creation, polarization, and dehumanization, as well as the contradictions of political pluralism, deliberation, and the emergence of antipolitics.
